How to Get Red Snowflake Christmas Nails

Step 1: Prep Your Nails

To make sure your nail art stays on for as long as possible, prep your nails. Buff and file to the desired length.

Step 2: Base Coat

Apply the base coat nail varnish. Go for a nude shade or, if you have one handy – a transparent one.

Step 3: Paint it Red

Apply red nail varnish. To intensify the colour, apply two to three coats. Wait for the nail varnish to dry before starting on the next step. If you have a nail dryer, feel free to use it. Not to worry if not, simply wait for the nail polish to dry for about 20 minutes.

Step 4: Start Drawing

Pick one nail which you’d like to be the statement one – this is where your snowflake will go. Start drawing small dots on all the other nails. They don’t need to be in any order, simply dot around.

Step 5: Draw the Snowflake

While it may look intricate and detailed, the snowflake is easy to achieve. First, draw a plus sign and add an additional plus sign across it.

Step 6: Add the details

Add little “V” shapes to the ends of your snowflake. This will make your snowflake look really detailed. Draw a few dots around the star to finish the statement nail look.

Step 7: Top Coat

Apply a transparent top coat. Doing so will help the nail art to stay on for as long as possible.
